8 References Use a computerized bibliographic program, i.e. Endnote ($$$), Mendeley (free), Refworks (free), and Zotero (free)bibliographic program Follow journal guidelines (may request alphabetical listing or order of appearance in the text). Follow standard abbreviations (can be found online). Some journals limit number of references allowed.

9 Taking a few hours to learn EndNote is a very good choice! Two hours spent on this before writing a thesis saves hours, or even days, of work towards the end.

10 10 EndNote Demo (1 of 2) Create a new EndNote library Add a Reference – Manually – Direct export – Connection files – Import filters Add Items to a Reference – Insert pictures – Insert objects – Insert links to PDF files

11

12 12 Creating/Opening an EndNote Library (2 of 2) First time: – Create New – Open Existing

13 13

14 14 Adding a Reference Manually (1 of 4) Go to References  New Reference Change Reference Type from Journal Article, if necessary Author names: enter as First Middle Last or Last, First Middle – Ex: Jean-Claude Bradley or Bradley, Jean-Claude or Smith, A B or Smith, A.B. – Individual author names must be entered one per line, so hit Enter if there is a second author

15 Adding a Reference 15

16 16 Adding a Reference Manually (3 of 4) Color coding – Black = information is already in library – Red = information is new to library Tab to go to next field; Shift+Tab to go to previous field Titles: capitalize only first word and proper nouns – Output style will apply necessary changes

17 17 Adding a Reference Manually (4 of 4) No extra punctuation or formatting should be entered – EndNote will do this automatically When you close the reference, it is automatically saved (or go to File  Save to save manually)

18 18 Performing a Direct Export Direct export is available for many databases: – Using Summon – Ei Compendex – INSPEC – OVID – Science Direct, – Web of Science – IEEE Xplore In Ei Compendex: Download records RIS, EndNote, ProCite, Reference Manager option; Export to EndNote or EndNote Web
